Does anybody know what language computer game programmers use? can you
program games with visual studio .net? would they be of good quality?
 
 
Also, understand why things (especially games) are programmed in C++ (I'm
looking into getting into Game programming as well). C++ is a language that
can be ported to almost any platform with little/no readjustment for
compilation. Which was one of the other great powers of C++ (which is now
availible in .NET, but you have that runtime issue again) is the amount of
compiler directives you can give it. That really makes it a robust language
to work with. Even though its hard as hell to pick up sometimes. =)

I don't think that this is the main reason, at least not for DirectX
games. DirectX is only available for Windows...

Just my 2 Euro cents.

Had to get me back didn't ya? =)

Alright, to further go on your comments, and of course save face with the
C++ rhetoric. Yes, the DirectX graphics engine is only aviailble in
Windows. HOWEVER, that is simply the graphics engine.

I've only played with DirectX .NET (Managed DirectX) a little bit. I think
its pretty fast if your just doing the basics, but if you start getting more
advanced models/meshes it tends to bog a little. But then again, its
managed code. =) So, you lose some control on the vid side by using it,
whereas C++ you have complete control.

thena gain... C++ is a pain to code for. =)

stupid memcpy...
 
Hi CJ,

Are you serious answering to Herfried on this, he never has played a game on
internet so he does not even know what important it is that you have the
highest speed.

Just my 2 eurocent.

LOL -- I am familiar with 3D computer graphics, and real time
rendering. Theory, not pracice, I never used DirectX.
